Does it have some sort of thermal cutoff?
Let me say that I have no experience with tube amplifiers, but I'm wondering why anyone would operate any audio power amplifier at 95% power continuously. This would never happen when playing music. Furthermore, I don't think any audio power amplifier is designed to do that, but I could be wrong.
If the amplifier begins working again after it cools down, my guess is that you have triggered a thermal cutoff by overheating the amplifier.
Good luck,
